    So, we went and visited my 009 car today. It is getting its chassis done by a good friend of ours(and his wife and dog) in Ohio. It is looking great, wonderful attention to detail and styling. I even got to sit it in and pretend to run low 10s today.
    Here are a couple of pictures, there will be more to come as the build continues! I am excited to see it come together. It has been a work in progress in my mind for years, it is nice to actually have it progressing now. I couldn't be happier with how it is coming out.

    And none of the work is done with a kit, all of it is from sheet aluminum and straight tubing. The back panels fit so well, in the picture they are just sitting there, not even attached. If they look that tight before they are sealed, it is going to look great finished.

    It has to be that well done to be worthy of the nice Cleveland that will be going in it!

    I think it will be worthy of a carbon fiber cowl hood with blue kevlar!
